Not all employees and contractors are required to use these codes, however if you are a sales or event manager or have been asked by your Team Supervisor to use them, then as part of your job, you would be required to use the following clodes on slack to indicate things like ...

1. Time you logged in and started your shift
2. Time you went on a break
3. Time you returned from a break.
4. Time you finished your shift.

 

WHAT CHANNEL & WHERE TO ENTER CODES ON SLACK?
The shift log codes are entered in the channel of the main department you have been employeed or contracted to work in.  While most employees and contractors may have multiple channels they are subscribed to, your main role within the company would be exactly where your shift log codes would be entered.  If you are unsure, always speak with your Team Supervisor or a colleague on Slack.  As an example here is are some samples of where your shift log codes would be entered.

• If you are a sales representative or sales person and working as part of the sales department then you would click on the
  channel and enter your log codes here.
  
  
• If you are an event manager and working in events as part of the event management department then you would click on the
  channel and enter your log codes here.
  
  
• If you are an accounts manager and working in accounts in the accounts department then you would click on the
  channel and enter your log codes here.
  
  
• If you mainly work in film, as a script writer or cameraman or stage hand or film crew or production staff then you would click on the
  channel and enter your log codes here.
